The network is > xx.xx.xx.0 and has a gateway at xx.xx.xx.1 > dns servers are xx.xx.xx.2 and xx.xx.xx.3 I should have said that I am assuming these dns servers are private, that is purely for the use of name resolution on the internal network. Received wisdom maintains that public dns servers, along with smtp servers should be on the outside as a result of weaknesses in the protocols. This may have changed with more modern versions of the standard daemons. mvh/regards James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
